{{{{{VC}}}}} no feeling lost, ever!! You just stay right here with us’all!!😆 (I’m on my macbook today, trying to sync photos off the ipad and iphone… more than 5K photos combined, whew. It’s more time-consuming than I expected it to be. For some reason.)

Well, possibly a bit of good news for California. The NOAA is predicting an El Niño event for 2014. That means that the Southwest should get a lot more rain if it persists into autumn/winter later this year. Right now it’s a tentative prediction; more accurate measurements can be taken around June/July.

That is so heartrending! I would bet that it was not a ‘clean’ gun as I can’t imagine any gun owner getting rid of their gun this way unless it was involved in something illegal. Sigh! What will it take for gun law changes?

I am seeing this society become more and more ridiculous. I was reading reviews for a handbag and guess what was considered a ‘plus’ in one of the reviews: “the cell phone pocket is perfect for my 380 pistol.”

I kid you not.

I’m looking at work tables/benches that I can adapt for my sewing room. There’s a wooden work bench that looked at and the reviews were about 75% “I use it to clean my guns.”

The big bully crook Governor from New Jersey went to CPAC yesterday and tried to trash POTUS. They didn’t even want him there last year, but show you how disparate the NJ Governor is he went crawling there on hands and knees.

“Voters in Ukraine’s Russian-occupied Crimea who vote in the March 16 referendum have two choices – join Russia immediately or declare independence and then join Russia.

So the choices are “yes, now” or “yes, later.”

Voting “no” is not an option. The lack of choice wouldn’t surprise anyone familiar with how Soviet or Russian elections are run.

The Crimean parliament released the design of the ballot that will be used for the referendum, which will be taking place as thousands of Russian soldiers are in control and – it appears – Russian President Vladimir Putin is calling the shots.”

I absolutely loved the last line of the president’s speech today-“The young people are coming and nobody can stop them.” Combined with the report on the liberal leanings of young people and their refusal to accept received information from the traditional media, it must instill fear in the hearts of Republicans and hope in the hearts of the rest of us. Now we have to be sure that we get a whole lot of 18 year-olds signed up to vote in 2014.

Accepting change is at the heart of everything I admire in PBO – when young people saw what Reagan and Thatcher did to the Western world – the authority once vested in the GOP vision of that world was no longer valid.
